1949 Map of King And Queen

About this map

The Mattaponi Indian Reservation sits along a prominent bend of the Mattaponi River, serving as a central cultural and geographic anchor for this mid-century Virginia landscape. The river dictates the region's character, marked by numerous landings such as Horse Landing, White Oak Landing, and Scotland Landing that reflect a long history of water-based transport and commerce. Inland, the community structure is defined by its rural post offices and country churches, including Stevensville PO, Mattaponi Ch, and Zion Ch. Historical transit paths are preserved through labels for the Pamunkey Trail and the Washington Burgess Route, which intersect the winding creek systems of Market Swamp and Exol Swamp. This survey provides a clear look at the area's agricultural and maritime patterns before modern suburban expansion, documenting local landmarks like the State Fish Hatchery and Bunker Hill Sch.
